The Salty Truth #RTTBROS #Nightlight "The Salty Truth: Why Jesus Wants You to Remember the One Chick He Couldn't Forget" Bible Verse: "Remember Lot's wife." (Luke 17:32, KJV) In a world that constantly urges us to move forward, Jesus gives us a peculiar command – to remember someone who couldn't let go of the past. Lot's wife stands as a stark reminder of the dangers of clinging to what we're leaving behind. The story of Lot's wife is brief yet profound. As Sodom and Gomorrah faced divine judgment, Lot and his family were offered escape. Their instructions were simple: flee and don't look back. Yet, in a moment of weakness or longing, Lot's wife couldn't resist one last glance. That backward gaze cost her everything. "But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt." (Genesis 19:26, KJV) Why does Jesus specifically tell us to remember her? Perhaps because her story resonates with our own struggles. How often do we find ourselves torn between God's promises for our future and the familiar comforts of our past? Lot's wife became "calcified" – stuck between where God was leading and where she'd been. Her physical transformation into salt symbolizes a spiritual truth: when we're more attached to what we're leaving than what God has for us, we risk becoming spiritually stagnant. This devotion challenges us to examine our hearts. Are there areas in our lives where we're looking back, longing for things God has asked us to leave behind? Are we, like Lot's wife, finding dysfunctional pasts more comforting than unknown futures? Jesus' call to remember isn't about condemnation, but caution and compassion. He knows our tendencies and our struggles. By pointing us to Lot's wife, He's saying, "I understand the pull of the past, but I have so much more for you ahead." Let's take this moment to turn our gaze forward, trusting in God's provision and purpose for our lives. May we have the courage to fully embrace the freedom and future He offers, leaving behind anything that would hold us back from His best. Prayer: Lord, help us to keep our eyes fixed on You and the future You have planned. Give us the strength to let go of what's behind us, even when it's difficult. Thank You for Your patience and for continually calling us forward. In Jesus' name, Amen. Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros
